Description

    BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
  • The present invention relates to a semiconductor device and a method of manufacturing the same, and more particularly, to a complementary MOS integrated circuit with wells and a method of manufacturing the same.
  • As integrated circuits are miniaturized more and more, memories such as DRAM memories introduce a vertical structure more often than a conventional planar structure. Capacitors of a trench structure are therefore used in such DRAM memories. Various problems are encountered in the manufacture of memories with trench capacitors. One of the problems is that a well is made deep in order to suppress leakage between trenches of shallow wells.
  • A conventional method of forming a twin well in a complementary CMOS integrated circuit (hereinafter simply called CMOS IC) will be described with reference to Figs. 4A to 4F.
  • A p-type silicon substrate 1 having impurity condition of 1 × 10¹⁵ to 5 × 10¹⁵ cm⁻³ is subjected to thermal oxidation under an oxygen atmosphere to form a first oxide film 2 having a thickness of 1000 angstroms (Fib. 4A).
  • A photoresist 3 is deposited on the first oxide film 2 is selectively patterned so as to remain on an region where an n-type well is to be formed in order to form a p-type well. By using this photoresist 3 as a mask, boron ions are injected. In this case, a first damage layer 4 is formed by inactive borons (Fig. 4B).
  • Next, in order to form an alignment mark to be used at the succeeding photoetching process, the oxide film 2 on the p-well region is removed using ammonium fluoride liquid (NH₄F) and using the photoresist 3 as a mask. Thereafter, the photoresist 3 is removed (Fig. 4C).
  • In order to form the alignment mark for the photoetching process, a p-type well 6 is formed through thermal diffusion of boron ions under oxidation atmosphere. In this case, an oxide film 5 is formed at the same time on the p-type well so that a step or a level difference between oxide films is formed on the surface of the silicon substrate 1, of which the step is used as the alignment mark (Fig. 4D).
  • Next, a photoresist 7 is selectively patterned on the p-type well region. By using the patterned photoresist 7 as a mask, phosphorus ions are injected. In this case, a second damage layer 8 is formed by inactive phosphorus ions (Fig. 4E).
  • Next, after removing the photoresist 7, thermal diffusion is carried our for the purpose of activation of impurities and obtaining a desired diffusion depth, to thereby form an n-type well 9 and thus a twin well (Fig. 4F). Thereafter, a trench capacitor is formed on the semiconductor substrate by using suitable conventional manufacturing methods.
  • In the above conventional technique, thermal diffusion under an oxygen atmosphere for the exposed p-type well region on the silicon substrate 1, for example, at step shown in Fig. 4C, may cause Oxidation-­induced Staking Faults (OSF). OSFs occur more often in the p-type boron ion injection region than the n-type phosphorus ion injection region, and increase in proportion with the ion injection dose. In addition, in forming trench capacitors in DRAM memories as described previously, it is necessary to form a deep p-type well region in order to suppress leakage between trenches. In order to form a deep p-type well, it is necessary to increase the boron ion injection dose and form at first a p-type well, so that OSFs are likely to occur.
  • Furthermore, a process of patterning a photoresist is required to be carried out twice in forming a twin well, thereby posing an increased number of manufacturing processes.
    • SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
  • It is therefore an object of this invention to provide a twin well of novel structure.
  • It is another object of this invention to provide a semiconductor device of high reliability by suppressing occurrence of crystalline defects in the formation of a twin well.

    DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
  • A semiconductor according to an embodiment of this invention is shown in Fig. 1E.
  • On a p-type silicon substrate (1 to 5× 10¹⁵ cm⁻³ impurity concentration), there are formed a first well 6 (p=type well region, 3 × 10¹⁶ cm⁻³) and a second well 9 (n-type well region, 6 × 10¹⁶ cm⁻³). The surface of the substrate is formed with an oxide film 5 (SiO₂). The depth of the first well is about 10 microns, and that of the second well is about 5 microns. The depth of the first well is two times that of the second well. A trench capacitor formed in such semiconductor device (e.g., DRAM) has a depth of 3 to 5 microns so that leakage between trenches is considerably small.
  • The method of manufacturing such a semiconductor device of this embodiment will be described with reference to Figs. 1A to 1E.
  • A p-type silicon substrate 1 is subjected to thermal oxidation under oxygen atmosphere to form an oxide film 2 having a thickness of 1000 angstroms. Thereafter, boron ions are injected over the entire surface of the p-type silicon substrate 1 through the oxide film 2, under the conditions that the injection energy is 150 keV and the dose is 1.5 × 10¹³ cm⁻². In this case, a damage layer 4 is formed by boron ion injection (Fig. 1A).
  • In order to form a first well 6 (p-type well region), thermal diffusion (1190°C, 200 minutes) is carried out under oxygen atmosphere. During this thermal diffusion, the surface of the first damage layer 4 on the silicon substrate 1 is covered with the oxide film 2 so that OSFs will not occur even during the thermal oxidation under oxygen atmosphere (Fig. 1B).
  • Next, a photoresist 3 is selectively patterned to cover the region other than the region where a well is to be formed. By using this photoresist 3 as a mask, phosphorus ions are injected, under the conditions that the injection energy is 150 keV and the injection dose is 2.5 × 10¹³ cm⁻². A damage layer 8 is formed by inactive phosphorus (Fig. 1C).
  • Next, in order to form an alignment mark to be used at the succeeding photoetching process, the oxide film 2 on the n-well region is etched using ammonium fluoride liquid (NH₄F) and using the patterned photoresist 3 as a mask. Thereafter, the photoresist is removed (Fig. 1D).
  • Next, thermal diffusion (1190°C, 480 minutes) is carried out for the purpose of activation of impurities and obtaining a desired diffusion depth, to thereby form a second well 9 (n-type well region) and thus a twin well.
  • In the above manner, a twin well can be formed while suppressing occurrence of OSFs particularly in the region where p-type ions are injected.
  • In the above embodiment of this invention, the first thermal diffusion is carried out for forming a deep p-type well in a DRAM having a trench capacitor. For a DRAM without a trench capacitor (using a stacked capacitor or a planar capacitor), the first thermal diffusion is omitted and the second thermal diffusion is used for both p-type and n-type well diffusion. Specially, after injecting boron ions (Fig 2A), phosphorus ions are selectively injected (Fig. 2B) and thermal diffusion is carried out to thereby realize the structure (Fig. 2D) same as shown in Fig. 1E.
  • Furthermore, a although a twin well is formed in the embodiment, this invention is applicable to forming a triple threefold well by forming the third well after forming the second well 9 in the similar manner described above. By repeating the above steps, a multiple well such as quadruple-well, quintuple-well and so on, may also be formed.
  • Although a p-type silicon substrate is used, the invention is applicable to an n-type silicon substrate.
  • Furthermore, although the first well is of p-type and the second well is of n-type, this conduction type may be reversed.
  • As described in detail, according to the present invention, the profile of impurities in n-type well substantially the same as conventional can be realized by properly setting the first thermal diffusion time, phosphorus ion injection conditions (acceleration energy, dose) for the formation of an n-type well region, and second thermal diffusion time. The profile of impurity concentration in an n-type well according to this invention is shown in Fig. 3, and the profile of impurity concentration in a conventional n-type well is shown in Fig. 5. As understood from Figs. 3 and 5, both the profiles are substantially the same.
  • According to the present invention, in forming the p-type well, thermal diffusion is carried out while covering the surface of the silicon substrate 1 with the oxide film 2 so that the occurrence of OSFs can be suppressed in the order of 0.2/cm² and the pn-junction leakage can also be suppressed, allowing the formation of a semiconductor device of high quality and reliability.
  • Furthermore, in forming a twin well, a conventional method requires two processed of patterning a photoresist, whereas the present invention requires one photoresist patterning process thereby reducing the number of processes.
  • Reference signs in the claims are intended for better understanding and shall not limit the scope.
